Understanding these shifts and making the right call at the opportune moment can make all the difference between a positive and negative bankroll.

Here’s what you need to know.

Commercial Breaks

Live betting during commercial breaks is a lot safer because you don’t have to worry about rapidly changing odds or TV delays that leave you behind the action.

Commercial breaks offer a brief hiatus from the action – where you can reassess the game, evaluate your strategy, and place bets without the pressure of keeping pace with the next play.

Don’t live bet in-between downs! Wait for the commercial break.

After Halftime

Waiting until after halftime to live bet is beneficial for a few reasons.

First, you get to watch half the game. By only live betting after halftime, you’re able to evaluate both sides and develop a sense for how the rest of the game may unfold.

Next, as the game progresses and time dwindles, the odds begin to shift dramatically. When you wait until after halftime, you can find tremendous value.

For instance, let’s say you really liked the Kansas Jayhawks as a -6.5 favorite over Baylor before the game. Imagine it’s the third quarter and Kansas is down by 10 points.

You’ve watched the whole game and the Jayhawks look really good. They’re only losing by 10 points because of a couple unlucky bounces. It’s been a high-scoring back and forth game, and you really think it’ll come down to the wire.

In this spot, you get to hop on the Jayhawks at way better prices than pre-game.

This is an excellent opportunity and what every live bettor looks for.

After Scoring Turnovers

Scoring turnovers (such as a pick-six, or fumble return for TD) can change everything in an instant.

Timing is critical. When the unexpected happens, recognizing it and acting quickly can provide valuable betting opportunities before the odds fully adjust.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s a long college football season with plenty of live betting opportunities to capitalize on. Winning is about recognizing key moments – like commercial breaks, post-halftime, and immediately after scoring turnovers – and using them to your advantage.
